After Chopin’s death Polish patriots cut up his body to take out his heart. They Nationalised this poor muscle and buried it in Poland. A dead person is treated either as trash or as a symbol. Either way, it’s the same disrespect to his vanished individuality.
— Milan Kundera, from Testaments Betrayed
